Guerrero, who plays as a striker for Brazilian club Flamengo, was initially banned for one year after testing positive for a cocaine metabolite following a World Cup qualifier against Argentina on October 5 last year.

World football’s ruling body FIFA reduced the ban to six months on appeal last December and the suspension expired on May 3.
